Future Grace
Chapter 2
When Gratitude Malfunctions

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

Lesson learnt: Gratitude is important. "..always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:20. But gratitude for past grace without faith in future grace is treacherous. Express gratitude to God for the grace he has given, not by doing works, or by obeying the Word and keeping the Commandments, but by having faith that His grace will continue to be showered upon us. His grace is infinite, eternal, and free.

Psalm 13: A Psalm of David

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and every day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Look on me and answer, O Lord my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death;
my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

But I trust in Your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in Your salvation.
I will sing to the Lord,
for He has been good to me.
